At a media parley with entertainment editors in Lagos, Aganbi, who has been cleared by the AGN National Electoral Committee, outlined his vision to strengthen the Guild through effective policy formulation and consistent implementation.
A long-standing member of the Guild since 2003, Aganbi is renowned for his advocacy for professionalism and innovation in Nollywood.

Running on the campaign slogan “From Progress to Greatness,” Don Pedro Aganbi is positioning himself as a reform-driven candidate focused on continuity, growth, and sustainable advancement within the Guild.
